  • Patent number: 11478933
    Abstract: Example implementations described herein estimate parameters for equipment that cannot be sensed directly, including determining if such equipment is running or stopping. Example implementations determine the standard throughput per equipment and product, based on history of equipment production data, extract previous and next equipment of robotic arms on the line by using physical topology information of robot arms and equipment, senses and determines throughput of associated robot arms and compares the robot arm throughput with the standard throughputs of the previous and next equipment, which help determine whether the previous/next equipment have stopped.

  • Patent number: 10922091
    Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to the management of data received from an edge side when an update is issued to edge nodes from a core apparatus. When the edge nodes receive the update, the receipt of the update may not be uniform (e.g., due to latency, downtime, etc.), which results in an intermediate state where some edge nodes are updated and some edge nodes are not. Example implementations described herein address the processing of data from edge nodes when such an intermediate state occurs by conducting reprocessing of data when data is transmitted from edge nodes operating from an old configuration.

  • Patent number: 10747773
    Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) manages a database existing in a second storage device with an access speed lower than that of a first storage device. In an execution of a query, the DBMS dynamically generates tasks two or more executable tasks in parallel. The DBMS generates task start information which is information representing a content of the execution of the task, manages the task start information, and executes a content represented by the task start information by the task. The task start information includes a data address set existing in the second storage device. The DBMS controls movement of the data address sets between the first storage device and the second storage device based on a management state of the task start information. In addition, the DBMS selects the task start information based on whether or not the data address set exists in the first storage device.

  • Patent number: 10124606
    Abstract: This invention is about a digital printing method of cover sheet of a flexible material of required features of density, flexibility and thickness. This method includes steps of printing a cover sheet of woven or non-woven fabric, by using digital or computerized printing techniques, either direct printing or by transfer paper printing or sublimation printing technique. The printed side of the cover sheet is laminated or coated with a clear film of flexible transparent material like polyurethane, thermoplastic polyurethane, polyethylene or polyvinylchloride. This laminated or sealed printed and coated cover sheet may be fixed to different fabric, foam or of outer surface layer of an article at which printing is required. The said article may be sport's good, sport's wears, dresses, footwear, furniture covering sheets and vehicle items covers etc. The novel method of making cover sheet enables customized printing at required articles at user request with many design printing possibilities.

  • Patent number: 9842136
    Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) generates a query execution plan including information indicating one or more database (DB) operations necessary to execute the query. The DBMS dynamically generates a task for executing the DB operation in execution of the query. The DBMS performs a determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number when newly creating a task. The determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number is to calculate the number of simultaneous task generation, which is the number of tasks that can be generated simultaneously, based on the number of tasks which can be newly generated, a first memory resource amount which is the amount of memory resources necessary to be allocated per task newly generated, and a second memory resource amount which is the number of memory resources that can be newly allocated. The number of tasks generated dynamically and simultaneously is equal to or smaller than the calculated number of simultaneously generatable tasks.

  • Patent number: 9639576
    Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) generates a query execution plan including information representing one or more database (DB) operations necessary for executing a query, and executes the query in accordance with the query execution plan. In the execution of the query, the DBMS dynamically generates tasks for executing the DB operations and executes the dynamically generated tasks. The query execution plan includes a plurality of query blocks, which are sets of one or more DB operations. When newly generating a task, the DBMS executes determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number. The determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number is to calculate, targeting each of the query blocks, the number of simultaneous task generation, which is the number of tasks simultaneously generatable as tasks for executing the query block. The number of the dynamically generated tasks is equal to or smaller than the number of simultaneous task generation.

  • Publication number: 20160335321
    Abstract: A database management system determines whether an exhibition performance, which is a performance exhibited by execution of a query being in execution, satisfies a predetermined condition continuously on and after a certain time point, based on an execution state of the database management system. When the determination result is affirmative and there is an execution-waiting query, the database management system starts execution of the execution-waiting query before execution of the query being in execution ends.
